Favourite Kid are a dynamic sibling trio who bounced onto Queensland’s indie-folk, pop and alt-country music scene over six years ago when older brother, Ethan, 26, started writing and recording his own songs and embarked on a musical journey under the moniker Aspy Jones. He persuaded his talented younger sister, Jaimie, 24, and brother Saul, 21, to join him, cementing his upbeat, eclectic tunes and raw lyrics with a family collaboration of sibling harmonies and lively storytelling. Favourite Kid are heavily influenced by Mumford & Sons, George Ezra and The Lumineers and are due to release their debut album in 2025. They have been lucky enough to have their songs played regularly on ABC Radio Sunshine Coast.
Favourite Kid celebrate neurodiversity and Ethan has recently been awarded Q Music’s Dalwood-Wylie Foundation Scholarship for 2024. The family band have already graced the renowned stages at many venues and festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, Mitchell Creek, Rock and Blues Fest, Queensland Music Festival, Undercover Artist Festival and the Gympie Music Muster. Their exceptional talent earned them a Limelight Award when they played at the Caloundra Music Festival and they have also been lucky enough to support Fanny Lumsden and the ‘The Fabulous Caprettos’ featuring Daryl Braithwaite, Russell Morris, Rai Thistlethwaite and Jack Jones.
Favourite Kid originates from the musically rich country of Wales, known as 'The Land of Song' where they were born in Wrexham. Their musical journey continued when their parents moved to Australia and they were raised in Gympie in regional Queensland. Here, they embarked on their musical odyssey as teenagers at the Australian Institute of Country Music.
